House Speaker Nancy Pelosi reportedly offered the radical House Democrats a price tag of $2.1 trillion for the reconciliation package, down from $3.5 trillion but more expensive than Sen. Joe Manchin’s (D-WV) topline of $1.5 trillion.
The offered package to the House Democrats includes items such as child care, paid leave, health care, and climate change, according to Politico Playbook.
The offer presents which measures may survive the trimmed but still large package and which measures may be removed. “For instance, there was no mention of things like free community college or affordable housing or even Bernie Sanders’ prized expansion of Medicare to offer dental, vision and hearing benefits,” Playbook reports.
The reported compromise is still far outside Manchin’s $1.5 trillion topline number that he divulged Thursday on a signed piece of paper. The signed document in July is an agreement between Manchin and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), which outlined that the reconciliation package would be $1.5 trillion with debate on the package beginning no later than October 1.
“Senator Manchin does not guarantee that he will vote for the final reconciliation legislation if it exceeds the conditions outlined in this agreement,” the signed agreement reads.
“I’m still on $1.5 [trillion] guys, I’ve been on 1.5 and I’m going to make sure that people understand there’s an awful lot of good,” Manchin said. “We can help a lot of people, children on the front end seniors on the back end, a lot of good things.”
But the far-left House Democrats on Thursday were not enthused by the revelation of the secret document.

A trillion here a trillion there and pretty soon we’re talking big money.
To be honest, they can expand the welfare state however they like - in the end their government will collapse and neither the so-called debt ceiling or the USD reserve currency will save them.
However the climate stuff - which entails paying utilities not to produce electricity except using unproven and unreliable technologies at massive scale - now that’s gonna be fun.
I’m stuck on $Zer0 for Marxist transformation.
What happened to Dirkson’s “billion”?
A trillion here, a trillion there, pretty soon you’ve got real money
So we’re still talking about the $1.5 Trillion already passed in the Senate with 19 Republicans, now awaiting reconciliation and now ANOTHER $2.1 Trillion?
That’s still $3.6 Trillion dollars... And probably more they’re not talking about.
Hell, no!
Don’t worry though Nancy has plenty of Crap Bills stuffed up her butt waiting to pop out
Sniffer will take anything he signs as a victory.
“Bernie Sanders’ prized expansion of Medicare to offer dental, vision and hearing benefits.”
I am actually for this if limited to Retirees over 65. I have been paying into Medicare for over 50 years. We should take care of our elderly population. Not give lazy, worthless youths everything for nothing.
Big government, big spending, big inflation.
my dentist quit taking Medicare patients because there are so many of them that they took up all his time and the payments were inadequate to support the practice.
I remained but pay my own fees and neglect payments I could get from Medicare
Americans, all, take heed...wake up, wise up...the Democrat Party is failing. There is no leadership from top to bottom. Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer are done...failures, every on one of them.
Biden, no leadership skills at all, a true Zero, a buffoon. a moron, an idiot, a traitor/turncoat to the USA, Harris, simply, brainless, useless, can’t find the nearest ladies room, Pelosi cannot control the present Democrat caucus in the house, should be dumped on coming Monday morning, first her vote was last Monday, then last Thursday, then last Friday, the...Who knows when? Schumer not-to-bright Jew who is regularly mocked & abused by the Jew haters in the Democrat house caucus, a weak person from A-’Z!!!
I have a grand idea for the failing Democrat Party, Dump Biden & Harris and put Pelosi in the White House as POTUS!!! There the retard woman will not last a month or two and she will resign or retire!!!
As for moderates in the Democrat Party, I suggest you switch parties from Democrat to Republican, immediately and end this three ring Biden circus like right now!!!
Child care-—Paid Leave....
They will demand employers PAY those fees...
Watch the robots get the next round of jobs.
America has turned its back on God and so HE has appointed fools to rule over us.
Saw a TV show early this AM that clearly said the changes in climate over the MILLIONS of years was caused by the Earth changing it’s polarity.
There is NOTHING we can do on a large scale to make a perfect climate.
Pelosi won’t survive another election -—not even in Calif.
Note to Dems—
When this all collapses—there will not be any place YOU CAN HIDE.
